10 yearsJust had a dodgy call from someone pretending to be HMRC, trying to scam my elderly mum. Proper nasty tactic.HMRC10 yearsCheers! I’ve been inundated with missed calls from this number and, after perusing the previous comments, I’ve finally decided to block it. Such a relief!10 yearsWatch out for this dodgy bloke from Leicester, goes by Q###um or something, I think he's linked to HMRC scams. Saw him hanging about Spinney Hills near Evington Highfields - total conman! Don't fall for his rubbish, he's a right nuisance.LeicesterSpinney HillsEvingtonHighfieldsHMRC10 yearsGot another message on my answering machine threatening a lawsuit, unbelievable how some folks fall for these scoundrels. Apologies, I marked the phone as wrong the first time I left feedback.10 yearsGot a message on my answerphone threatening a lawsuit again, can’t believe some folks actually fall for these con artists.10 yearsHMRC scams have been going on for ages, and not too long ago they used to send nasty letters too. Luckily, I’m pretty clued up on spotting them now.HMRC10 yearsAvoid answering this number; it’s a scammer trying to intimidate unsuspecting individuals. I received a call from them in the early evening hours.10 yearsJust had a phone call telling me HMRC is taking legal action against me. They told me to press 1 to speak to someone about my case. This kind of thing is so risky, especially for older or vulnerable folks. I really hope the police can track down who’s behind these calls soon!HMRC10 yearsI received an automated call claiming that HMRC was initiating legal proceedings against me. My wife quickly pointed out that it was likely a scam and that I shouldn't have to press 1 as the message instructed. It’s truly alarming to think that some elderly individuals could be frightened into responding, possibly pressing that dreaded number. It’s quite dreadful that such tactics are employed by unscrupulous individuals. Shouldn't there be better warnings about this type of scam? Perhaps we could see some public service announcements or ads on television to educate people?HMRC10 yearsScammers should be stopped from using phone services, but greedy execs just let it slide because they’re making a fortune from it. They get paid a few pence for every call or maybe £10 for a thousand scam calls. The company looks at that as pure profit, so why should they bother protecting customers from the hassle? It’s all about the money in the end, not us getting bombarded by these kinds of calls! :)10 yearsI'm in the same boat as many others here. Got a call about a family member who's passed away and we’re sorting the estate. They rang me at half six in the evening! Surely HMRC are tucked up in bed by that time!HMRC10 yearsJust received a call from this number about an hour before - the caller claimed to be from HMRC, stating that there was a lawsuit against me. It threw me into a right tizzy, but then I thought twice and hung up. It just doesn’t seem plausible that they'd reach out in such a manner!HMRC10 yearsJust like many others, I got a call about HMRC supposedly taking me to court. I’m really relieved I’m not an elderly person who might easily get scared - that would have freaked me out completely.HMRC10 yearsSimilar to numerous others, we have a tendency to put our faith in individuals and see the good within them, regardless of their ethnicity or faith. However, those making these calls, in this instance an Asian individual, seem blissfully unaware of the harm they inflict on their own reputation. Sure, you might deceive us for a quick financial gain, but the moment you erode trust, you end up with absolutely nothing in return.10 yearsI received a call from the number 01618509343, and I really wish someone could put an end to them.10 yearsThose HMRC scams keep popping up, I even got a few dodgy letters from them a while back. Luckily, I’m pretty clued up on spotting the fakes now.HMRC10 yearsGot a voicemail claiming to be HMRC asking me to press 1 to get through. Absolutely rubbish!HMRC10 yearsI got a call from some dodgy bloke K###n Q###m claiming to be from Leicester, spotted around Spinney Hills and Evington Highfields. Total scam! Don’t even think about hitting 1 or calling back - it’s a premium rate rip-off charging you £10 a minute. Watch out for this liar, really fishy stuff.LeicesterSpinney HillsEvingtonHighfields10 yearsI’m really relieved I looked this number up before answering. Got an automated call claiming HMRC was taking me to court, something about being self-employed - it definitely made me suspicious. It honestly upsets me how some people think it’s okay to trick others like this. Why’s it so hard to just earn your own money honestly, like most self-employed folks? It’s just disrespectful. Proper cheeky!HMRC10 yearsGot a freaky call from 01618509343, said HMRC's suing me or something. They told me to press 1 to speak to my case officer. Honestly, watch out for this number!HMRC10 yearsGot a call from some absolute muppet claiming I was being sued! Really shook me up, especially since I’ve been feeling rough lately. Can’t believe people are actually pulling stunts like this. The police seriously ought to step in! Obviously, I didn’t ring back or dial any digits to talk to their so-called ‘case worker’. It’s just awful, especially for folks with heart conditions - could be proper dangerous!10 yearsGot a missed call from 0161 850 9343 while I was out, so I checked the voicemail on my mobile. The message said something about HM Martines suing me and told me to press 1 to talk to the case officer. I found the number using 1471, but when I tried calling back the answerphone said to just leave a message. Bit suspicious if you ask me.HM Martines10 yearsMy nan, who's well into her 90s, got a phone call from these clowns and came over all worried, convinced HMRC was on her case. She's quite vulnerable to dodgy calls like this and it really unsettled her. Luckily, I looked up the number online - I mean, it always seemed odd that HMRC would ring up for something like this - and found out it was a total scam. Glad I checked before things got worse.HMRC10 yearsGot a call claiming to be HMRC saying I was facing legal action. As soon as I questioned them, they just ended the call. Totally a scam!HMRC10 yearsGot a call from 01618509343 about some supposed lawsuit or whatever. Didn’t bite, just ended the call straight away. What a load of rubbish! Honestly, I can't even say what I really think about these muppets on here!10 yearsReally freaked me out!10 yearsI received an automated message claiming that HMRC was about to initiate legal action against me. It instructed me to hit 1 to speak with my case officer. I didn't follow through as it sounded rather fishy; HMRC wouldn’t reach out to anyone in such a manner. I quickly realised it was most likely a scam of some sort.HMRC10 yearsI've received a call regarding a lawsuit from HMRC, much like what others have reported. They hung up on me before I could get any clarity. This needs to be addressed promptly!HMRC10 yearsseriously, how shameless can these scammers get? it’s like they have no limits at all.10 yearsI received a recorded message on my phone claiming that there was a legal matter involving me. Curiosity got the better of me, so I pressed one. An Asian gentleman picked up the call and surprisingly inquired about my mother, who sadly left us five years ago. It was quite distressing, to say the least.10 yearsI just got a call from 01618509343 about some supposed HMRC lawsuit and a prompt to press 1 to speak to someone handling my case. Didn’t press anything, just ended the call. After looking the number up on who-called-me, I’m really relieved I didn’t. Seems like loads of folks have been stung by falling for it and losing money. Honestly, it’s shocking that the cops, telcos or government haven’t cracked down on these phone scammers who range from a nuisance to downright thieves.HMRC10 yearsGot a message on my answerphone earlier saying HMRC were suing me, press 1 to talk to your case officer. I called the number back and it was just an answerphone with some American voice saying “leave your message after the beep”. I left a message telling them how horrible they are, said I’ve reported the number, these scammers are disgusting. Honestly, how do they sleep at night? Properly angry about it!HMRC10 yearsGot a call from what looked like a Manchester area code earlier, but I reckon if you hit 1 like they ask, you end up ringing some expensive premium number. It’s bloody expensive per minute so best just steer clear of it totally.Manchester10 yearsGot that rubbish call again claiming to be from HMRC, best just to block and forget it.HMRC10 yearsIt seems that when you attempt to return the call, you end up dialling a premium rate line, which means you'll be racking up an eye-watering charge for every minute spent on the phone. Quite ridiculous, really!10 yearsI’ve just returned home to discover a voicemail left regarding some legal matter with HMRC! At first, it had me a bit anxious, but after doing a quick search online, I found numerous comments from others who had received the identical automated call. Quite the relief, honestly!HMRC10 yearsHeads up, this one’s a bit dodgy! Same deal as before, watch out!10 yearsI recently got an automated call claiming that HMRC was filing a lawsuit against me. It didn’t take long for me to figure out it was just a scam, so I didn’t fall for it and pressed 1. However, I can’t help but think about how this might distress some older folks who might not see through it as easily. It’s truly appalling how low individuals can sink to perpetrate such despicable tricks.HMRC10 yearsThis is exactly the same and can be really scary for older folks or anyone who’s vulnerable. Honestly, it’s just awful.10 yearsGot a call like the one mentioned here, purely a scam. Be careful.10 yearsGot a voicemail saying HMRC was suing me and to press 1 to talk to my case officer. Obviously, I didn't press anything. I've gone ahead and blocked the number already, and I'm planning to report it. Honestly, there needs to be some serious action against these scammers who try to scam people, especially those who might not be able to defend themselves.HMRC10 yearsLike pretty much everyone here, it’s a scam, no doubt.10 yearsI got a call too, where someone pretended to be HMRC claiming they were suing me.HMRC10 yearsMy elderly mum, who’s 78, had a rather unpleasant experience too. Thankfully, she didn’t go ahead and press 1. It really did get her quite flustered.10 yearsAbout 45 minutes back, I received a rather ominous phone call claiming to be from HMRC. It was a rather automated message, threatening that a lawsuit was in progress against me and urged me to press 1. Thankfully, I quickly recognised it for the scam it was and the call abruptly terminated. It left me feeling quite uneasy, to be honest!HMRC10 yearsUtterly pointless experience - a complete farce, really.10 yearsGot a call from 01618509343 with a recorded voice saying it was HMRC and something about a legal case, then it told me to press 1. I just ended the call straight away!HMRC10 yearsJust received yet another robocall from this number, claiming that the HMRC has initiated a case against me. How predictable!HMRC10 yearsCalled back and it was one of those dodgy HMRC scams, reported it straight away. They’re now on it, HMRC don’t take too kindly to these fraudsters!HMRC10 yearsBeware, there's an imposter claiming to be from HMRH. Whatever you do, don't hit 1; it’s a total con!HMRH10 yearsGot a recorded call claiming to be HMRC threatening legal action against me. They told me to press 1, which seemed dodgy. Been getting loads of these calls lately - some pretending to be from TalkTalk and others with fake energy company messages. Proper annoying!HMRC10 yearsReceived a message on my voicemail from this number and immediately suspected it might be dodgy. Cheers for clarifying that!10 yearsGot a voicemail from some fake HMRC warning about a court case against me, telling me to press 1 to talk to someone. Definitely didn’t fall for it, knew right away it was a scam!HMRC10 yearsWe also had this happen on 29 July 2016. There was a voicemail on our answerphone claiming to be from HMRC. Out of curiosity, I called the number back. After a few rings, someone picked up and with a heavy accent said something like “HMRC Office, (some name), how may I help you?” I quickly hung up. It’s really troubling, especially for people who might easily fall for this kind of thing!HMRCHMRC Office10 yearsEchoing the sentiments expressed by others, this is certainly a fraudulent scheme, and it could genuinely terrify and distress individuals.10 yearsMy mother, who is 84, received a call today while I happened to be visiting. I noticed she seemed quite anxious during the conversation, so I took the phone from her to see what was going on. It was a rather unpleasant automated recording making all sorts of menacing claims. I promptly ended the call and advised her not to pick up if they tried to contact her again. It’s quite distressing for an old dear to be subjected to such intimidation like that.10 yearsHad a call, seemed like it was HMRC or something like that, like many have said before. This was the first time they tried that trick on me. Completely a scam, don’t fall for it.HMRC10 yearsIsn't this simply a form of deception? Feels a bit dodgy, doesn't it?10 yearsReceived a rather dodgy call from this number claiming that the HMRC had lodged a case against me. They instructed me to press 1, but I didn't comply and instead ended the call. I then tried ringing back, and an individual with an Asian accent answered, stating "HM Customs and Excise," before promptly disconnecting the line. It's clearly a scam of some kind, but I couldn’t glean any further details. I’ve since blocked the number to avoid any future hassle.HMRCHM Customs and10 yearsPurporting to be from HMRC.HMRC10 yearsThis number 01618509343 just repeated the same message as before, then hung up. I’ve blocked it now.10 yearsI received a rather alarming call claiming to be from HMRC, stating that a lawsuit was filed against me. Curiosity got the better of me, and I pressed 1 to speak with someone. An Asian gentleman picked up the line, but upon inquiring about his identity, he promptly disconnected the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!HMRC10 yearsGot a robo call claiming to be HM Customs warning me about some action they’re taking, telling me to press 1 to talk to my case officer. Hung up straight away, didn’t trust it at all.HM RevenueCustoms10 yearsGot a call from 01618509343 again this week, they said they were from HMRC and reckoned I had a court case pending, asking me to press 1 or 9. How can these nasty scammers not be blocked already? It's mad that they keep ringing like this!HMRC10 yearsGot a call from 01618509343 claiming to be from HMRC and threatening legal action - sounded like a total scam to me!HMRC10 yearsGot a call on my landline from 01618509343 earlier, some bloke claiming I’m being served a lawsuit.

Thought it might be dodgy, so I decided not to answer. Really happy I didn't, turned out to be a scam!HMRC10 yearsGot a call claiming to be from the HRMC, but don’t bother calling back or hitting 1 - they’ll charge you loads in call fees! Such a scam!HMRC10 yearsJust got a call with that exact robotic message saying something like "Hello, we've been attempting to reach you. HMRC is filing a lawsuit against you." Then it tells you to press 1. Tried to report it but the whole thing takes forever. The number calling me was 0161 850 9343.HMRC10 yearsJust like the others said, this was definitely a scam.10 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were with HMRC. This wasn't the first time they rang me, so I decided to call back. I told the bloke to stop bothering me and then I ended the call.HMRC10 yearsReceived a rather alarming call just a short while ago. An automated male voice informed me that the HMRC was initiating legal proceedings against my name and urged me to press 1 to get in touch with my case handler. I chose not to comply, as I suspect it's a dodgy racket. Just a heads up to anyone who gets this call: steer clear of pressing 1, it's likely a scam!HMRC10 yearsGot a call while I wasn’t home - glad I missed it. They’re definitely on my blocked numbers now.10 yearsMy phone buzzed, and to my surprise, I was greeted by a rather bizarre voice claiming to be from HMRC, saying there was a claim lodged against me.

It's quite ghastly how these sorts of devious scams could truly unsettle those who are elderly or vulnerable.HMRC10 yearsI received a recorded message claiming that HMRC had been attempting to reach me regarding some legal action they were supposedly commencing. It urged me to press 1 to talk to a case worker. Clearly, this is a scam of some sort.

Didn’t risk pressing the button though.HMRC10 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from the tax office saying they’re going to sue me. They told me NOT to hit 1 or else. Definitely a scam.10 yearsGot a call saying HMRC's suing me and to press 1 to chat with a case advisor - I just ended the call.HMRC10 yearsGot a call like that about HMRC just now. Those lot are proper scamming arseholes.HMRC10 yearsLike the others here, I’m relieved to hear this number’s already been flagged with Action Fraud. I gave it a go but ended up waiting ages on hold, then tried the online form, but found the whole thing just too complicated and gave up. Reporting this sort of thing really needs to be simpler. Surely if the number is known, the police should be able to track down those behind it and put a stop to it straight away!Action Fraud10 yearsGot a call from 01618509343, and it was one of those automated messages just like the others.10 yearsI got a robo call claiming HMRC was about to sue me, and it told me to hit 1 if I wanted to speak with someone about my case.HMRC10 yearsGot a call from these lot claiming to be HMRC, threatening legal action like the others mentioned here.
